Simpson confident he'll play.

I get the impression West Coast will err on the side of risk, as they are despearte to start 3-0 before a tough encounter V Geelong at Simmonds.

I disagree BBP why risk him when they can win this game with one leg in the air.

This the ideal week to rest players who are 95% ready

They can win this game by 10+ goals without too much effort

    Knowing our luck Shuey will make a miracolous recovery by the weekend with a 42 possession 4 goal game.

    my thoughts: most thought we would beat Saints = lose, most think we will lose to west coast = win....logical isn't it.

    I know what I've indulged in so am retiring for the night. Having a brazillian tomorrow. A prayer or 2 might be helpful Lord.

    LW I thought you had demanded a new name for Pedo as it brings back inappropriate memories for some in the religious orders?

    I just want to see us compete for four quarters.

    We were not expecting to win this ever with our best team, it would obviously have been wonderful if we did, but it isnt going to happen. Best we can hope for is a good showing by the team doing the things Roo's has been teaching them and working on their game plan, etc using this as a practice match, which could be advantageous given we seem to play better in practice matches than real games.

    Mitchie will own Gaff. Has done since under 12s Seriously. They have had a rivalry since they were kids and Viv carries my pay packet.

    You don't think we did on the weekend? Or you just don't trust us against better opposition?

    Four quarters against the Saints is once thing, doing it against a team that can punish quickly is another. I want to see us competing for longer against teams like that.

    FWIW I think the style Roos wants us to play will suit us more on the G anyway, but we will be working with no forward line again so we need to play smart, competitively, and unlike last week, take our chances.

    I don't know, something tells me this team will do okay on Sunday.

    Will be a litmus test for this "new" Melbourne. Lets see how the Roos inspired list handle a caning.

    Im serious. Will they wilt of old or keep to their task even whilst being turned into fertliser.

    Im intrigued.

    Funny how this season still runs to a familiar course.

    It will be turn over capital city on Sunday. The Dogs are a more polished side than we are and the Eagles pressured them heavily by hunting in packs, forcing the Dogs into dishing the ball out to a team mate with no chance of clearing it.

    Imagine how our boys will fair?

    Eagles by at least 12 goals.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
